  Este artículo pone de relieve la importancia arqueológica y patrimonial de la línea de fortificaciones construidapor los romanos en la frontera oriental de la provincia Dacia, con una longitud de 235 km, entre el Danubio ylos Cárpatos (de la primera mitad del siglo III). Esta línea se conoce hoy en día como Limes Transalutanus. Enparticular se refiere a la importancia de un sector que cruza el actual condado de Arges, atravesando todo tipode formas de relieve. Aquí se encuentran al menos la mitad de las construcciones militares de todo el limes, yaquí se han llevado a cabo las excavaciones más sistemáticas, además de encontrarse aquí el único sitio abiertoal público. Este último es el campamento de Câmpulung, el primer elemento conocido del limes (documentadopor el conde Marsigli en 1689) e investigado arqueológicamente durante medio siglo. El autor destaca el enormepotencial para el turismo y el área natural, y la posibilidad de que esta línea de fortificaciones romanas puedaser incluida en un programa de visitas.Esto podría contribuir a un mayor potencial económico y turístico de una zona cargada de historia, pero pocodifundida y conocida.

  This paper highlights the archaeological and heritage importance of the 235 km long fortification line (earthwave and Roman camps) constructed by the Romans on the eastern border of Dacia province between the Danube and the Carpathians (the first half of the 3-rd century BC). Conventionally this line is known today asLimes Transalutanus. The importance of a 125 km long sector of this limes is highlighted, i.e. the one that liesfrom the south-west to the north-east the actual Argeş County. Here the limes crosses all the relief forms. Halfof the military constructions of the entire limes could be found here. The extreme importance of this sector consists in the fact that the most consistent archaeological diggings were performed here and the only Roman campprepared to be visited by the public was arranged here. It was transformed in a museum that could be visited ina civilized manner. It is the Roman camp from Câmpulung, which is the first known element of the Limes Transalutanus (pointed out by the count Marsigli in 1689) and systematically studied from an archaeological pointof view half of a century ago. It is stressed the touristic and natural potential of the area as well as the possibilitythat this fortification line to be included in a touristic circuit program. This fact could contribute to the increaseof the economic and touristic potential of a less known and less promoted, though full of history area
